Excessive Cardio for Burning Fat

          Doing a lot of cardio can help you lose weight, if done properly! When i say “Excessive” I’m talking about 1.5 to 2.5 hours 4 to 5o times a week. Also, it doesn’t have to be the same activity, you could combine 3 different cardio exercises over that time period.

Now let me break it down is to why this works.  About 10 minutes of cardio or 1 mile of running or walking, will burn approximately  100 calories. 3,500 calories equals approximately one pound of pure fat.  So I run about 4.5 miles 4 times a week, which means I burn about 1,800 calories just from running. Combined with other workouts and proper dieting, you can loose serious weight. However, depending on when you eat, you could be burning the food you just ate. So having a proper diet and exercising at the proper time will help you loose weight with excessive cardio.
